  Do current JWs like to have Bible discussions?

  by Magnum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on another thread rufus t. firefly made this interesting comment:.

  my wife is a "zealous" regular pioneer who never talks about the bible or "the truth" and who has no interest in conducting a bible study with anyone.

  this is how one remains a jw.. i decided to start a new thread to discuss this, since i didn't want to veer completely off the topic of the original thread.. i can relate to what rufus said - not concerning my wife, but other close jw family members.

  This is absolutely the truth. Jehovah's witnesses don't want to talk about anything of a spiritual nature. Bring something biblical up and they become mute and appear visibly uncomfortable.  I try it all the time and I get no where.

  Question about the HLC and medical records

  by OrphanCrow in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  the hlc was established after i left the jws.

  here in canada, the hlc was piloted back in the early 70s and that is when i had a personal encounter with the men in white shirts and shiny black shoes who took away my right to make medical decisions.. i am not very familiar with the internal doings of the hlc, other than that they hold the jw patient's life in their hands.. when the hospital liaison committee becomes involved in a jw patient's health care, what type of information is sent to the watchtower headquarters, and does the watchtower society receive copies of the patient's medical records?

  if so, does the society maintain a database/library of historical medical cases that the hlc has been involved in?

    Hello OrphanCrow:

  I believe that there have been some changes to the HLC and a new body is in place. I would suggest that you contact the association of jehovah's witnesses for the reform on blood at  www.ajwrb.org

  Email  [email protected]

  Also Marvin Shilmer would be a great resource. You can contact him via PM from this forum .

  Hope this helps

  hi, i'm a newbie around here.

  i've been reading the posts, but reluctant to step out of my safe zone.

  i definitely see how coming to a safe place to ask questions, vent, etc.

  New store front format??

  Looks like they want to integrate these so they can sell them later as commercial properties. They will be building to get a higher resale value

  I just read this to my husband and he wants to thank you for your forbearance in sitting through all of this.

  All I can say is that the gb is getting more and more deluded and I pity the poor rank and file that cling to every word they utter.

  Thank you TimDrake1914 for that great synopsis.

  I am always amazed how window washers and high school drop outs have the gall to think that they can judge another human being.

  By the way, I haven't noticed you before so I want to give you a warm welcome on my behalf.

  It's always great to get the scoop from current elders that have looked behind the curtain and have come to realize that watchtower is nothing more than a cult.
